"You are!"

Zhang Chen was greatly startled, but he knew who the source of that voice was.

"Don't go up yet, don't go up yet... Go, I... have something... to tell you." The voice sounded somewhat incoherent, yet it was enough to leave Zhang Chen immensely shocked.

"Tomie, help me guard my body. I'll rest where I am for a little while." Danger lurked constantly in Zhang Chen's current surroundings, so he had no choice but to have Tomie come out and protect him.

Neither Tomie nor Evil Mouth Elder could hear the voice from the depths of his soul. It communicated solely with Zhang Chen.

Sitting cross-legged, Zhang Chen's consciousness returned to the cave deep within his soul. This time, the enormous stone stood directly before him. A humanoid outline formed from the cave's liquid ghostly aura protruded from its surface.

"You've finally come... It's time to settle everything in this place. The one inside must die. But before that, you must remain unharmed."

Neither the voice nor the body this person had formed from liquid gave any indication of its gender. Just as the mysterious person who created this place had described, this thing was a ghostly creature that truly existed without relying on any tangible external substance.

Zhang Chen pondered inwardly.

"You cannot go to the third level for now.
